@bryn is this "i may not be good at thinking but i inspire other people to come up with ideas"

tho i mean. this person's ideology is blatantly like. capitalism with fascist leanings. so it's not a surprise

the fact that i'm legit writing the sentence "the author relies, when they use facts at all, on misleading or outright falsified information" is probably not a good sign for what's supposed to be a history book

@MCtheCat it me???

@mxsparks oh frag this is great now i kinda want to try playing without the nb mod for these tidbits

@Nikolai_Kingsley ok. but what does that mean In This Specific Context

being able to actually point out when someone's lying or misinformed and then being able to prove it when they challenge you is a good feeling. interestingly, the only arguments i see that are supported by false facts are the classist/racist/ableist/&c. ones. almost like bigotry has no basis in fact or something??? wild

@Nikolai_Kingsley i still can't tell what it's saying in the context of the conversation at hand

@Nikolai_Kingsley i wish i knew what this image was supposed to convey so i could actually respond to what you're trying to tell me

gods, i'm so glad i have all this obscure historical knowledge. because somehow i have uses for it like every fraggin day bc people out there keep making the mistake of misrepresenting historical groups and/or events in my general vicinity

@amateurwitch i believe https://snouts.online/@Kat/102636610934099539 is the original toot abt it

@schell perhaps! in my imo, assuming that level of technology, the best option would probably be the ability to record and then selectively share one's own experiences

@schell that's really cool but in this context kinda terrifying. if i'm in the pits of despair i absolutely do not want other people to be experiencing that too. but it'd probably be much simpler to implement "hey this person's feeling bad" popups based on the appropriate symbol, given a similar interface

there Should be a convenient way for people to nonverbally express a general mental state. but it's not currently being developed alongside a system wherein people who don't have the option of just memorising the guidelines have a way to understand it

and really the primary issue is that if it's not accessible for people to understand, they're gonna have to ask for clarification. which, yes, defeats the purpose, but more importantly can cause problems for people who are signalling a bad state

ok so in concept the whole idea of like. easy symbols or whatever to indicate current emotional state / ability to talking / &c. is really great? but uh, it doesn't really work in a medium like this one. it really only works when there's some kind of constant or immediately available reminder of what everything means

like, i'd love to be able to signal that stuff on here, and i'm gonna boost it whenever i see it bc it's a great idea. but it's absolutely hostile to my comprehension in this state

@peptostate now there's an idea! wait, shit, fuck,

so im supposed to be analysing this article but i keep getting pissed off at the capitalisms in it and also getting distracted by adhd hellbrain so basically ive spent eight hours writing half a sentence

@chillallmen@mastodon.social well im the only person who could possibly one-up them in terms of being willing to pull off absolutely fracken ridiculous stunts
